Well Sian, Claire and many other little helpers are getting ready for our Charity Cake and Book Sale on Saturday; raising money for Sarcoma UK and Macmillan. So many people have offered to make cakes and donate books that I am getting worried that there will not be enough people to buy the cakes and books (help!!). So posters have gone up and I hope to get some publicity via the local radio station - so cross your fingers that people come and buy, buy, BUY!!
Donating the money to Macmillan is close to my heart as many people I have known (including myself - well I should know me!); have had access to there services and support. As you all know I am a member of Sarcoma UK and they have been a tremendous support to friends with sarcoma, and are key in raising awareness to gain a quicker diagnosis / referral from GP's.
Anyway the pain is still a part of my life and so I rattle with more pills and potions; though I have decided not to take my sons advice to sell some of my drugs on ebay, eventhough we would all like a nice holiday!
The medical team have finally decided to try and investigate the pain further and are sending me for a `glow`in the dark test (a bone scan); shame it is not Halloween next week I could have made a fortune.
So on a daily basis I try to escape the big `C`word, but the pain follows me and reminds me that the gremlins of sarcoma are still with me. I plan events, lunch with friends, mad nights at the theatre, cinema trips with daughter and try to party when I have the energy. However the best escape is a good book, a mystery or thriller and a twisting plot that keeps me guessing. Roll on Saturdays Book and Cake sale when I can once again become a book worm.

p.s. David, Harriet and Andrew have shown me so much love and laughter this week; madness rules this house as always.
